MEMORIES …. this week received photos from my childhood from Jennifer Hayley ….
Our dancing school Butler Horner with our beloved miss Mavis used to go to Butlins for the world dance championships .. All the families used to go … the antics at Filey are fond fond memories to us all Mums dads and brothers who didnt dance all came along for the glorious fun we all had at BUTLINS Filey but what made it so special that no holiday dance championships would of been the same with out the one and only Maureen Flenley who captured our childhood in photographs and film and friend to us all Nome who worked at Equity … I have visions of my Dad clowning about with uncle Nob such fond heart felt memories and the mums doing the tap troupe and solos of their daughter modern dance solos and even being the daffodil girls from the film STAR …
but this particular year I must of been about 7 years old , not so many families went as it was changed to PWELLELI in North Wales , BEAUTIFUL SCENERY …. but it was all planned by Maureen and Nome to do our version of the Sound of Music on cInny film … PRODUCED /DIRECTED /FILMED /STARRED IN BY maureen and Nome with all of us being the von traps children … it was taken so serious ….
That little boy me… took it as it was for real and thinking I was in the movie for real by the look on my face … I have copies of the film but have never seen these pics before …. HAPPY DAYS
